[SOLVED] - Add function: regular links

Hi all

First of all, I'm VERY satisfied with OpenCart and all the functionalities it has to offer. Currently I'm running a shop created in just a few weeks (including CSS restyling to match my regular site). There is just one little thing that I'm absolutely missing, as I don't want to mess with the template files because those have caused a lot of trouble in the past for me.

On the admin panel //Catalog//Information
I would love to see a function to add another information page, but instead of text have a link added to another website. I want to link to affiliates and websites that offer their products and services but I have to add a page of plain text and add links into this text first. That's fine but it would be much better if I could just add a link directly to another website or to my own website or pages using an URL.

Regards

You could add the relevant links to the footer file

Thanks for all the useful replies!

I have figured out how to create links and add menus in the code itself using plain HTML and CSS. It won't be translated if the site gets translated to another language but there is no need to. By the time this business goes international I can probably afford a programmer as well :laugh: I won't be purchasing any extensions. There are so many and I probably need multiple for their different functions, it will cost way too much if each of them cost $20 at minimum. I would much rather hire a programmer as it'll be much more affordable.
